How good of God that he should choose to give you to me as my friend. That out of all the people in the world, he should have caused our paths to cross, our circumstances to interwine, our minds to spark against each other _ so that when we talk, there are so often fresh ways of thinking, new insights into love and life, and faith.

Thank you for simply being there, on the dark days _ and in the sunshine: available, ready to listen, to laugh, to smile, to weep, to pray. 

Thank you for sharing your joys, problems, pleasure and pain with me. For letting me know that I am important to you, that my contribution counts.

You are someone special. Because of our friendship I have grown as a person. I hope that you have too.

Thank you for being my friend.
